“Our budget proposal would provide Duluth public schools an additional $7.4 million in funding to hold down class sizes, maintain facilities, and expand access to early learning. ”<\/p>\n
Its a shame the State has to give Duluth money for the first two items, those are basic responsibilities of any district.<\/p>\n
How would Duluthians feel say if Rochester gussied up all their schools and then received State tax dollars because they couldn’t keep up their new schools? <\/p>\n
If all districts receive the same money then fine but otherwise it is a bailout of some bad, very bad decisions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Interesting. I can’t disagree with you. I hadn’t seen the letter but it’s what Art [Johnston] has been telling me we should be asking for because the state didn’t perform it’s due diligence overseeing the Red Plan. <\/p>\n
Selfishly, for 709’s future, I can’t disagree. But I never saw that being in the cards. Even now I find it hard to believe that a GOP legislature will let that go into effect. <\/p>\n
One last thought. $7 million would be nice but it’s a pittance compared to the annual bite the Red Plan’s theft from our general fund encumbers us with.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
